ARI FOLMAN
Ari Folman is born in Haifa in Israel
while his parents immigrated of Poland
after the Second World War. After
his military service and a world tour
was interrupted after two months,
the young man decides to launch into
the cinema. He quickly gets noticed
by taking away in 1991 a prize for his
movie of the end of study « Confortably Numb ». He evokes the way there
his close relations lived the first Gulf
War. He begins then a career on the
television for which he realizes several
documentaries.
He signs in 1995 his first full-length
film, Saint Clara, which is inspired by a
novel of the Czech writer Pavel Kohout.
The movie is twice rewarded in Israel
during Ophirs of the cinema as well as
to the Festival of Berlin. In 2001 takes
out « Made in Israel », a futuristic tale
around the tracking of the last Nazi.
But it is with « Waltz with Bachir » that
Ari Folman knows the international
success. He tells it his experience of
the Lebanese War and searches for his
forgotten memories. The documentary
of animation is presented in competi-
tion to the Cannes film festival in 2008
and receives numerous prizes among
which Golden Globe of the best movie
in foreign language.
The director participates next years
in the writing of several episodes of
the Israeli version of the series « In
Treatment », before dedicating itself to
his new project « The Congress », the
adaptation of the work of one of masters of the science fiction Stanislaw
Lem. Mixing real shots and moving
pictures, Ari Folman stages Robin
Wright in actress on the decline, grateful to give up its image in a powerful Hollywood studio. The full-length
film opens about Fifteen directors in
Cannes during its edition of 2013. He
works actually on his new project « The
Diary of Anne Franck ».
Wednesday 3 december - 20h30
WALTZ WITH Bachir
by Ari Folman / Israël / 2008 / 1h27 / vostfr
Followed by a debate with the filmmaker Ari Folman
Ari Folman, Israeli director, finds a memory of the Lebanese War, at the
beginning of the years eighty. A dumb, stabbing image: himself, young soldier,
bathes in front of Beirut with two companions. He feels then a vital need to
discover the truth about this fraction of history and himself and decides, to
reach there, to go to interview worldwide some of his former comrades-inarms. This movie marks the beginning of a new era in the report between
documentary and animation !
Thursday 4 december - 19h30
THE CongrESs
by Ari Folman / Israël / 2013 / 2h03 / vostfr
The actress robin Wright, who plays in the movie its own role, is offered by
« Miramount » to be scanned. Her alias can so play in all the movies on which
the Hollywood company will decide to shoot, even the most commercial, those
whom it had refused up to there. The mixture of real images and animation is
in the service of a futuristic and vertiginous fable !
Friday 5 december - 20h00
shorts from the Israeli
school of animation, Bezalel
Animadoc is supported by our partnerships :

MARSEILLE
Proposing a variety of styles and techniques, these movies of the end of study,
often selected and outdone in festivals, can be printed by poetry (Floats, Blue
Whale) or of onirism (Howl). Subjects as the conformity (Reflections) or the
difference (Strange Fruit, reference to the classic of Billie Holliday), are
approached with a master’s degree. A dive in the imagination of the authors
of tomorrow.
The films screened with the courtesy of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem

How can animation be incorporated into documentary films?
Animation opens up a world of possibilities that is difficult, if not impossible to attain with a camera. The
limitless creative potential of animation can enhance documentary film content. However, techniques
and costs have to be mastered. During this workshop we will study the various steps in the animated
filmmaking process based on a documentary script, techniques and costs.
Workshops moderated by Domenico La Porta – Editor in chief of Cineuropa.
Conferences will be conducted in English.
